Overview

The AR_POSTING_REPORT_INTERIM table is a temporary data structure within Oracle E-Business Suite Receivables (AR) module. Its primary function is to serve as a staging area for the Posting Execution report, a critical process that summarizes and reports on the results of posting journal entries to the General Ledger (GL). The table is populated during the posting execution run and is designed to hold aggregated, report-ready data for a specific posting control ID, currency, journal category, and cycle. It is a core component of the financial close process, enabling users to review posting summaries before final ledger updates.

Key Information Stored

The table stores aggregated posting summary data, with its structure defined by a composite primary key. The key columns are POSTING_CONTROL_ID, which links to the specific posting batch; CURRENCY_CODE for the transaction currency; USER_JE_CATEGORY_NAME for the journal entry category; and CYCLE_NUMBER, which tracks the posting iteration. Other significant columns include SET_OF_BOOKS_ID, linking to the ledger. While the provided metadata does not list all detail columns, typical data stored would include aggregated counts and monetary totals (such as debits, credits, and counts of successful and failed transactions) for the unique combination defined by the primary key, facilitating the report's summary view.

Common Use Cases and Queries

The sole documented use case for this table is supporting the Posting Execution report. It is not intended for permanent data storage or direct transactional operations. Common queries involve selecting data for a specific posting run to generate the report or for troubleshooting. A typical SQL pattern would join to related master tables for descriptive information:

• Report Generation: SELECT pr.*, pc.name FROM ar_posting_report_interim pr, ar_posting_control pc WHERE pr.posting_control_id = pc.posting_control_id AND pr.posting_control_id = :p_control_id;
• Data Purge: After report confirmation, data for old posting runs may be purged from this interim table to manage space: DELETE FROM ar_posting_report_interim WHERE posting_control_id IN (SELECT posting_control_id FROM ar_posting_control WHERE creation_date < SYSDATE - 30);

Related Objects

The table has defined foreign key relationships with several master tables, ensuring referential integrity for its key identifiers. These relationships are fundamental for joining to descriptive data in reports and processes.

• AR_POSTING_CONTROL: Joined via POSTING_CONTROL_ID. This is the primary parent table, defining the posting batch or request.
• GL_SETS_OF_BOOKS_11I: Joined via SET_OF_BOOKS_ID. This links the interim data to the specific ledger or set of books.
• FND_CURRENCIES: Joined via CURRENCY_CODE. This provides the currency definition and precision.

The table's primary key constraint, AR_POSTING_REPORT_INTERIM_PK, enforces uniqueness on the combination of the four key columns, which defines a single reporting line in the Posting Execution summary.
